South Korean authorities in Seoul have been collecting trash dropped by North Korean balloons, with over 350 balloons identified as of Tuesday morning. The majority of the trash fell in Seoul and the surrounding Gyeonggi Province. The balloons appeared to contain mostly waste paper, which was deemed not to pose a hazard to public health or safety. In response, South Korea may resume its propaganda broadcasts from loudspeakers along the shared border. President Yoon Suk Yeol condemned North Korea's actions, describing them as "despicable and irrational," and criticized North Korea's pursuit of nuclear and missile capabilities. The arrival of the North Korean balloons followed a warning from Kim Yo-jong, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, in response to anti-Pyongyang flyers sent over the border by South Korean activists. The group of South Korean activists called Fighters for Free North Korea had floated giant balloons carrying propaganda flyers, dollar bills, and removable USB drives containing South Korean cultural content. The balloon action prompted Gyeonggi Province to file a complaint with the police, and preliminary analyses by the South Korean government detected several kinds of parasites within the North Korean balloons.
